Coffee with a Prof COVID Edition

We understand the value of meeting with your professor and/or graduate teaching assistant (TA) during your tenure here at UC San Diego. So, we have created a COVID Edition of the Dine/Coffee with a Prof series to help bridge the gap between the next time we will all be on campus. This program allows you, the student, to meet remotely and speak directly with the professor/graduate TA of your choice in order to gather insight concerning the course or career opportunities in your field of study. These conversation topics can be rewarding for both students and professors/graduate TA’s!
